Boston Dynamics robots looked really good a while ago, and I wonder what improvements they've actually been making over that time period.

It's a scam.

Unfortunately, yeah. The support was bipartisan. I hate Bush (and always opposed the Iraq war) but he did a good job building bipartisan support, I admit it.

Is that real?

If anyone is the Godfather of SaaS it's Marc Benioff, and he wouldn't call himself that.

Calling yourself "godfather" is a sure indication of a scam. This guy helped build some web services at Adobe, and that's it (mainly esign, but after docusign already existed).

Yeah, his argument is weak. If he stops hiring, then his business is doing badly. If he does layoffs, his business is doing really badly.

If his business is doing well, he will tell you how many millions/billions of dollars worth of sales it made.

It prolonged the peace of Westphalia.

World war three, the third great war, the continuation of the war of 1812, the abrogation of the peace of Westphalia, call it whatever you want. We haven't had another war. Ukraine sucks but nukes aren't flying.

The UN was created to help prevent world war through discussion. You think you are mad at the UN, but you are actually mad at the world. There is no institution or set of laws that can prevent war if we want it badly enough.

Stop imagining things and pretending your imagination is fact.

Why do you think this? Go do actual research and find out what they think. It will be a much better use of your time.

Yes, because they rejected the 2 states many times, and continue to do so today.

Stop imaging things. If you don't look for facts, you will always be wrong. What was offered?

How do you know this? Go search and do research. Find real facts and stop making things up.

Wow, wisdom straight from tDotHi: the department of the history ignorant.

Your expectations are too high. The UN is a place where people can get together and talk, hopefully instead of going to war. That is why it was created.

The structure reflects the power of the actual countries in the world. The ones with bigger armies have more power. Nothing happens without the approval of the big guns.

The UN is not a beacon of human rights or justice or anything. If the members talk about that, it's because they want to talk about that. If they talk about Israel, it's because they want to talk about Israel. If you don't like what the UN talks about, you don't like the countries who are guiding that discussion.

The UN is to prevent another world war. We are not sure if it will be effective.

I see that you don't like the UN, but I don't understand why.

In terms of metric, we are in agreement.

As far as Venezuela goes, do you really think it's a good thing for a country to unilaterally decide to bomb another country and cause regime change? I strongly dislike the Chavez/Maduro regime, but I dislike unilaterally invading another country even more.

It's really hard to see a difference between what Trump just did and what Putin did in Ukraine (except the USA is much more competent).

But seriously, do you think it's good for a country to unilaterally decide to kidnap the president of another country?

Under US law, he will be treated as any other person (unless somehow he can claim diplomatic immunity or something).

The really wild thing was the extradition, which wasn't done by treaty, and in violation of the UN charter.

How can you be so certain?
